Lauren’s Bio

My name is Lauren. I am a 27 year old from the San Fernando Valley. I currently work as a religious school teacher. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge and am currently working towards earning my multiple subject teaching credential. I love children and have been babysitting/nannying and working at summer camps for more than 11 years, and have worked with children ranging from infants to teenagers. In the past, I have worked as a preschool teacher and youth group advisor as well as an occasional elementary school substitute teacher. I have experience babysitting many children at once (up to 6 or 7), of all different ages. I am able to change diapers, bottle feed, help with homework, and prepare meals. I also have a younger brother whom I spent many of my teenage years helping with, as well as 2 young cousins whom I love to spend time with.
I am first aid and CPR trained and vaccinated. I do have some limited experience working with children with certain special needs and health related issues, such as diabetes, and am also a very quick and willing learner. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
